Yeah I know what you mean with cod ,it's just same old same old...
I can't see why they don't change the multiplayer maps so you can go in any building/structures you want instead of just the ones they allow

FIFA demo just out, but I haven't bought one since 2009 only considering it now cos a nephew is getting into football and wants someone to beat/play online!

CoD just milking it - Hitman Absolution, Bioshock, FC3 and Arkham City much more enjoyable games.

Want to pre-order it and take a day off work for it, but not sure I can justify the money atm. I might waver within the week though!

Downloaded the FIFA demo, but not played it yet. Apparently they've made fairly drastic changes to how the players move around/interact with each other, making it less easy to exploit pace (which was always the best tactic for the last few iterations). I don't buy it every year, but might get this one a month or so after release so any bugs are ironed out/squads finalised...

I'm all about the single player experience nowadays, don't have much time to play games anymore, so I tend to look for an immersive story which I can pick up and get into at any point. Used to play a lot of Halo online back in the day, but as with any of these games it's those who play most who do best and it gets frustrating as a relatively fresh player.

I was watching some games review show where it said that there had been previous correlations between big game releases and 'sickies' Not a huge online fan these days because - as you say - it is the nerds sat in front of a game console all day that just thrash you - followed usually by triumphalist abuse - so making it an unpleasant experience hence FC3, Arkham City etc that I can get into myself.

The scope is waaaay bigger than any of them before I think... You can buy properties and business, float them on the stock market and invest in other companies! There's a cinema and TV shows you can watch, games on your phone, theme parks you can visit...

I don't think it's the sort of game you're going to get bored of very quickly!

I'm thinking about getting it tomorrow.
Be a big chunk out of my little savings though!

It did piss me off, Ems, but I had also picked up the new Splinter Cell on Saturday for only £29.99 when shopping with my nephew so I got something in reserve. He is already playing his copy and tells me that it is very good.
